This mower replaced an old Honda gas mower. I've mowed a few times with it, and here are my insights.
PROS: * Quiet: Much quieter than a gas mower. Basically sounds like a box fan on high. * Lightweight and easy to push: It only weighs 35 pounds, so it's easy to push or even pick up and move when needed. * Plenty of power: I've mowed with the grass long but not overgrown, and this chewed through it easily. * Good battery life: My front and back yards are fairly small (2100 sq. ft.), and the battery still has 3/4 of its charge remaining after mowing.
CONS: * Wheels are plastic: There is no rubber tread on these tires, so I worry about durability.
* Handle technically folds, but it's a pain to do it: This is the one real disappointment for me. Both the upper and lower handles can be released using cam levers, but the upper connection is metal-to-metal and the lower one sits in a plastic depression that keeps it in the correct position when mowing. Moving either handle, in my opinion, risks damaging the handle or mower.
* Mulching performance is acceptable but not stellar: I fully expected this and am OK with it. This mower has a single dual-purpose (bagging and mulching) blade, while my gas mower had a twin-blade system. If you're mowing really long grass, it will leave some clumps of grass on the lawn in mulching mode. Not really a huge deal, as I just used a leaf blower to break them up.
All in all, I'm happy with the new mower. The pros far outweigh the cons.
Love this mower. Love that it’s quieter than my old power mower. Love that I just push a button to start it. Love that it cuts as well if not better. Love that it’s adjustable to a high cut. Love that it stores compactly and love that it cuts my entire lawn on one charge. It’s the most I ever spent on a push mower but I’m not sorry I did.
I purchased this mower because my gas mower died. I use this mower to mow where my riding mower can’t get to. I was pleasantly surprised that it mowed through tall grass that my gas mower struggled with. I purchased the 60 volt mower because I have other products from Green Works that use the same battery. The only issue I have is the push handle is a little high fore and isn’t adjustable. I recommend this mower.
After my 60V/42" with less battery this machine lets me do 1.5 acres with lot's of fiddely work without ever having to look at the "fuel gauge". It's a decent ride on the seat. So far I love it. (10 hours) There is NO mulch kit available for it which is insanity. The shipping is beyond bad. Few available days, more than a week after it got to the local warehouse on the first attempt they never showed, and when they finally did on the following date they didn't know how to get it on the lift.... I had to take care of that...It had been quite sloppily assembled from the crating. (loose bolts, control handles more than 2" out of alignement).. Unsat.
I bought this in 2024. If I had flat ground, I would rate 5 stars, but I have rolling property. It is hard to keep it going straight when you are on a 15 degree incline, or any incline. It is fast and effective. It cuts well and except for the problem on inclines, it works great. I wish I had bought the old style with the steering weel for my property. It is relatively quite and the batteries last a long time. It's nice not having to store gas, oil and changing spark plugs and air filters every year. It's comfortable and easy to use. I have not had a problem in tall grass or short.

Hello Texas Woodsmen Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the CrossoverZ zero turn mower. It is great to hear that you are seeing strong cutting performance, runtime, and overall ease of use. For operation on inclines, zero turn mowers can require a bit of adjustment compared to steering wheel models, especially on slopes around 15 degrees. To help improve tracking and control, we recommend reducing speed and making gradual steering inputs whenever possible. Ensuring tire pressure is equal on both sides can also help maintain a straighter path. For properties with consistent rolling terrain, a steering wheel or lawn tractor-style unit may provide more stability, as you noted. We appreciate you highlighting both the strengths and limitations, as this helps other customers choose the right equipment for their property type.

I have used it 3-4 times and it cuts great but can’t quite finish my 2/3 of an acre lawn. The batteries charge quickly and I love how I can tick it away in my garage
